Still Waters Posted Thursday at 12:25 PM #1 Share Posted Thursday at 12:25 PM (IP: Staff) · Scientists have unearthed an Inca-era tomb under a home in the heart of Peru’s capital, Lima, a burial believed to hold remains wrapped in cloth alongside ceramics and fine ornaments. The lead archeologist, Julio Abanto, told Reuters the 500-year-old tomb contained “multiple funerary bundles” tightly wrapped in cloth. He said those entombed were probably from the elite of Ruricancho society, a culture that once populated present-day Lima before the powerful Inca came to rule a sprawling empire across the length of western South America in the 1400s. https://www.theguardian.com/science/2022/jun/23/inca-era-tomb-unearthed-beneath-home-in-perus-capital https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/ancient-inca-tomb-discovered-under-home-peru-capital-2022-06-22/ 2 2 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
